To C4 and Rotorcaptain.........
Just wondering, but surely after working 7 days at 12hours + each day, at the end of your work week, mental fatigue MUST be a problem????? I can't imagine working 12 hrs for 7 days in ANY profession where you would not be just a little tired at the end of it!!!!!!!!! No big deal if you are stacking shelves at the local supermarket, but a night flight, seventh day, poor vis, low ceilings, end of shift...get my point?
Could this be why the US EMS operators have the highest accident rate compared to other helicopter professions??????????
